ADORATION
OF THE MAGI

M A T T H E W
CHAPTER 2

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.”

The star they had seen in the east went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and THEY BOWED DOWN AND WORSHIPED HIM. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense and of myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.

ADORATION
OF THE MAGI

[Allegra]

Nice! All stained glass and carvings. Beautiful.

[Hebrews 11:6]

It’s your dessert after the main courses.

[etabeta]

A full page of fenster! Insanely happy!! Plus a splendid mosaic from Florence and a carving from the north transept of the Strasbourg Cathedral...it doesn’t get any better than this. BRAVO!

[InkStone]

Good Morning Dan, and greetings to all.
Mostly glass indeed; a stunning and complex art form. Very beautiful, thank you Dan.

[Hebrews 11:6]

[Hebrews 11:6]

With my compliments, Leon.

[InkStone]

Had to look up ‘fenster’ =:^)

[left that other site]

Good Morning, Dan. :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

And now you're in-the-know. You can see right through us.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Mary-Lou! Just on my way to Jerusalem.

[etabeta]

I think Dan started using fenster to tease us...it does not change in the plural. It’s now faster to use than stained glass windows.

[InkStone]

“...see right through us”
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Nice Pun, Dan

[InkStone]

“it does not change in the plural.”
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Thank you etabeta. But can something (a window) be fensterative, or fensterly, or fensterably? I bet fensterism is a thing. Somewhere =:^)

[Hebrews 11:6]

I deal here in fensterabilia. Don’t know about the rest.

[InkStone]

“I deal here in fensterabilia”
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

LOL LOLOL
You got me there Dan!

[SisterK]

all of the sudden the big beautiful windows of my house have become drab
very drab

thank you again, for gathering all these works and sharing them with us

[Hebrews 11:6]

Entirely my pleasure.

Except that isn't even remotely true. I do have enormous fun doing this, but I do it at the Lord's behest. It is He who is touching every single viewer intimately. God is love, and that is what He loves to do.

[SisterK]

thank you for the history
I have missed a couple of years
stars & stripes forever told me about this very awesome thread
